Chapter 226 Nagato's Decision

Finally, Nagato slowly opened his eyes, and there was an unprecedented determination flashing in those reincarnation eyes.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the hesitation and struggle into his chest and then exhale it all at once.

He looked at Yuxi's back, and although his voice was still weak, it was very firm: "I... agree."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xi's lips curled up in satisfaction.

She didn't look back, but just raised her hand slightly as a response.

Her voice floated on the wind, with unquestionable authority: "Very good, Nagato, you have made a choice for the greater peace. From today on, this world will be rewritten by me."

Nagato nodded. Although he had mixed feelings, he knew that he had no way out.

He must believe in Yuxi, or rather, believe in the new world that she might bring.

He asked: "So, what should Akatsuki do next?"

Yu Xi turned around, her golden pupils shone even brighter in the sunlight.

She said slowly: "Within one day, I will personally capture all the tailed beasts. You will be responsible for spreading the news, saying that the Akatsuki organization has been controlled by me and all the tailed beasts have been captured."

"In this case, the five major ninja villages will certainly feel panic, and they will definitely hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. And I will show up at that time and start the Fourth Ninja World War."

Nagato frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "Wouldn't it be too risky to start a war directly? After all, the strength of the five major ninja villages cannot be underestimated."

Yu Xi chuckled, with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Risk? No, this is just a necessary measure. Only when the war is fierce enough can everyone realize that the existing system must be broken."

Nagato was silent for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that he was standing at a turning point in history.

Whether there is light or darkness ahead, he must move forward bravely.

Yuxi nodded with satisfaction

She continued, "I also plan to cooperate with Orochimaru. His Impure World Reincarnation is enough to play a huge role on the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Nagato was shocked again.

Orochimaru was actually included in Yuxi's plan.

He couldn't help but admire Yu Xi's courage and strategy. This woman seemed to really have the determination and ability to rewrite history.

After Yuxi finished speaking, she turned and left.

Her figure quickly disappeared into the ruins, leaving behind only a series of crisp footsteps echoing in the empty air.

Nagato looked in the direction she left, and after a long time he turned around, thinking about something.

Konan covered her still dizzy head and staggered to Nagato's side.

She looked around, but the scary woman was no longer visible on the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated.

"Nagato! Where is Yuxi? Did you... defeat her?" Konan's voice was full of hope, but also revealed a hint of uneasiness that was difficult to conceal.

She stared closely at Nagato, noticing a strange light flickering in his Rinnegan eyes.

This light felt extremely strange to her, because it completely replaced Nagato's previous determination.

What kind of light is that?

Konan stared into Nagato's eyes, trying to decipher the meaning.

Nagato shook his head slowly, his dry red hair fluttering in the wind, as if telling of his powerlessness and frustration.

"In front of her, I am worse than an ant." Nagato's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper.

Every word seemed so heavy, "Shinra Tensei, Wanxiang Tianyin... All the spells were like paper in front of her, and were easily shattered by her bare hands."

Konan's paper wings suddenly spread out and then quickly folded back together. She was obviously shocked by Nagato's words.

"What about Akatsuki now?" Xiaonan's voice trembled slightly.

She couldn't imagine what would happen to the Akatsuki organization when faced with such a powerful enemy.

Nagato took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

Then he interrupted Xiaonan and told him Yuxi's plan in detail.

As Nagato continued to speak, Konan's face became paler and paler, as if all the blood in her body had been drained away.

Every word hit her heart like a heavy hammer, shattering her hopes bit by bit.

"Are you crazy?!" Konan grabbed Nagato's collar, and the pieces of paper fell to the ground as she was emotionally disturbed. "You're just handing over the Akatsuki organization to outsiders! Her so-called peace is just—"

"Shut up!" Nagato suddenly became furious, and his chakra surged, shaking off Konan's hand.

"What do you know?! Jiraiya's idealism killed Yahiko! And Yuxi...she has the power to truly change the world!" His voice suddenly became low, with a kind of morbid fanaticism.

"Since you still believe in those ridiculous mutual understandings, just stay away."

Xiaonan staggered back, as if he was recognizing this companion of many years for the first time.

Her lips trembled as she wanted to say something, but in the end she just watched Nagato turn and leave.

After Nagato left, he began to repair the damaged Six Paths of Pain.

Three hours later, in the cold cave.

The shadows of the Phantom Body Technique lit up one by one, and the mental projections of the Akatsuki members appeared one after another.

Deidara's figure solidified first, and he shook his golden ponytail excitedly: "The leader called us together suddenly, is it to praise me and Brother Scorpion for catching one? Hmm!"

"Quiet, kid." Scorpion's puppet body made a cold mechanical sound, "Something is wrong."

Kakuzu's green eyes flickered in the shadows: "We have just started to capture the tailed beasts, and suddenly summoned everyone..."

"Everyone." Nagato's voice came through Tendou Pain, echoing in the cave, "From today on, the Akatsuki organization will be loyal to the God of Taijutsu, Master Yuxi."

The cave suddenly became silent.

"What?!" Kakuzu's voice trembled.

Hidan's sickle clanged to the ground. "No! This is real or fake!"

"It is absolutely true." Nagato said in a deep voice, "She has shown me her power and made a new plan - you stop capturing tailed beasts and prepare for the Fourth Ninja World War."

"You must be joking!" Kisame's shark face twisted, "We have worked hard for many years to collect information about the tailed beasts, and now we just stop?"

Deidara, however, danced with excitement: "A big battle! Hmm! Wouldn't that allow us to display a more spectacular art of explosion?!"

The shell of Scorpion's puppet made a crackling sound. "Calm down, kid. If that's really her...her power is beyond common sense."

He turned to Nagato, "How does she plan to deal with the combined forces of the five great nations?"

"Lady Yuxi has set out in person to capture the remaining tailed beasts." Nagato looked around at everyone, "At the same time, she will recruit Orochimaru to join the plan, because Orochimaru has a forbidden technique that can summon some deceased dead to fight."

Kakuzu's green eyes suddenly shrank: "His forbidden technique is indeed powerful..."

"Money is no longer important." Nagato interrupted him, "When the new world is established, the old economic system will be completely restructured."

Xiaonan's shadow suddenly appeared in the corner. She listened to everything in silence, her hands made of paper clenched into fists.
